An intimate reception with a wide-range of designers, artists, media folk, socialites, and fashionistas adorned the nouveau-chic venue where attendees were treated to diverse goodies throughout the evening.
Although the show ran fashionably late, it was in this joie d'etre that created an ambiance of classy-cool while giving guests the opportunity to mingle with some of Chicago's finest. Celebrity Emcees Ryan Chiaverini of Windy City Live and Nina Chantele of WGCI worked their magic and encouraged their audience to indulge in the exclusively-Chicago event.
The Red Carpet Media Reception kicked off the evening with theme Images of fashion. Some of Chicago’s top local Latino designers, including Claudia Urrutia, Nelissa Carrillo, Noelia Cruz, Ronald Rodriguez and Sadia Pattison, presented some of their most captivating designs.
In addition, Tuesday night featured many local celebrities as they strutted their stuff across the catwalk.
A few members of Le Prestige du Monde's team made it out to Zhou B Art Studio and made it a priority to capture the visually-stimulating and elating moments of the evening.
Photographers, bloggers, and social media insiders gathered to share tags, ideas, and to discuss the event's merriment.
Male models displaying the talent of local designers, which a guest described as "trendy, approachable, and very wearable".
As the lights shined on, models graced the catwalk and audience members tweeted and posted highlights of the evening.
Some believe white shouldn't be worn after Labor Day, but fashion is all about breaking the rules.
Confident, masculine, and modern, Latino designers showed off their ready-to-wear designs to a style-conscious audience.
Evening wear with eccentric colors and lush cuts adorned the gorgeous models.
Style, Latin flavors, the sounds of classical music, and paparazzi mingled and developed a memorable night that will surely be remembered.
As guests parted ways at the end of the evening, designers, members of the media, and the style-conscious enjoyed a final picture - or two.
